SHOP AND STREET.
Pretty Ankles at the Crossings ami Pretty Fores at
the Counters—A Merry .llediey of Cross-eyed
Polls, Diamonds, Hosiery, Hon Hons, Trinkets
and Toys.
The constant, unpleasant rain and the “awful”
slush were certainly the main features of yester
day' a3 far as the weather was concerned, but
tho combination, though strong, could nut
dampen or sully Christmas enthusiasm. The
business thoroughfares of tho city were fairly
alive with customers from early morning until
late last evening. There was never a better day
to really enjoy a jaunt and a trip with the crowd
through the various stores that offered their
holiday inducements to anxious purchasers.
An Enquiri-R-Sun reporter fell -into the
crowd and followed it around. All of what
he saw he couldn’t begin to tell if would, and he
really wouldn't tell it lie could.
ONE THING HE SAW,
and that was hundredsof pretty girlsof ail kinds,
ages, sizes and social classes. They were the girls
propur and entirely themselves. Flint an cos
metics cut no figure iu t heir make-up, anc si s
and satins were, if possessed, left at home. On
other thing was left at home, and that was ic
awful and austere dignity th.it conscious young
womanhood is wont on many occasions to as
tatine. They thronged the streets and stores in
bevies, with faces all covered with Bmiles and
with thoughts pointed directly on things mos
pleasant. One thing about the toilette of the
girls that was especially
NOTICEABLE (IN A PROFESSIONAL WAY
by the reporter) was the fine display of pretty ho
siery. A girl would slart across the street, give
her back skirls a most bewitching clutch, nnd
then fairly split the mud. Of course, tho dress
had to be protected, though the young man look
ing through the drug sore window or from tho
corner across the way, did got a glimpse of a
pretty pulr of stockings, and a pretty pair of an
kles. Iu the various heidqunrtcrs for holiday
goods, Christmas presents, and tho
like, there were the same unusual
throngs of customers. Pretty girls as
saleswomen, pretty girls us purchasers,
and numbers of the boys to flirt and be flirted
with, The reporter tried to And out what people
were buying, but the purchases were so varied
that nothing more than a general idea can bo
given. The elder customers, who were to assume
to respective families of small children the role
of Santa Claut or Kris Krinkle, paid their most
devoted attention to the counters where dolls,
baby sets, carpenter shops and the liko were the
principal articles. It was stated by a certain
dealer that there were never before in the history
ofColumbus such rv great quantity, such hand
some and such cheap dolls brought to the city.
The great waxen blonde, she lay back in her
elegant attire of rich silks and fine satins,
with her pearly complexion and rosy tints, was
the attraction for many, while the double-faced
clown with bells and tassels and internal crying
machine, met the admiring gaze of hundreds of
others. Thoy were, in fact, of all shapes, kinds
and fashions. One young man of giddy, but de
signing disposition, visited every toy stove in
town, whoro there were lady salesmen, trying to
And two cross-eyed waxen babies. Oi’courat;, he
failed; but, of course, also
IIE HAD ALL THE PUN
in tho world looking lor them. Books und cards
and such souvenirs were bought and sold by the I
thousand. The jewelry stores were crowded all j
day with the wealthier classes, who made this '
the opportunity .oi increasing their own stock of
gold and diamonds, or sought by such donations
to express to others their appreciation of friend-
ship or affection.
In the dry goods stores table linen of various
kinds was largely purchased. Many, with a view
to practical benefit, bought cloaks, wraps, gloves,
and other articles of personal adorn men t and
comfort, to beautify aud to gratify. Furniture
wagons with household articles were seen upon
the streets in unusual numbers finding their way
to various destinations. Everywhere, as said,
there was slush and mud and damp clothes, but
it is a rare tiling that one meets us many 1 appy,
beaming und contented fuees upon any one day.
hero who own flue horses, aud if we have no
track they will be compelled to dispose of them.
Mr. Flonrnoy’s Bessie, which won the race yes
terday is a daughter of Paucout, who was sold
at MoFerran’s sale in Kentucky for *’28,000. Pan
coast’s sire was the noted Daniel Lambert.
Messrs. B. T. Hatcher, J. B. H3lst, <1. M. Wil
liams and numerous other geutlomcn have flue
horses, which they are compelled to keep on the
surrounding plantations. There is no necessity
for this, as Columbus can have an elegant park
and track if some enterprising men will just take
hold and bring the commons commissioners and
aldermen to view the matter in tho right light.

Dinner favors are much in the line of toys of

No woman of fashion can have too much jet on

Pincushions nowadays filled with sachet do

cold water sight at a fashionable church wed

The girl of the period, who astonished even
the natives by wearing a white broadcloth new-

THE RACE YESTERDAY.
A Close nnd Exciting Exhibition—Won by Mr.
Flournoy’s Bessie—some Remarks on Columbus’
Need of u Suitable Track and Park,
There was a trotting rice yesterday afternoon
at Star park, one mile dash, best three in five, for
a purse of $73. There were three entries, name
ly: Dr. Bruce’s gray pao-sr, Mr. Jim Alexander’*
Oswichee Bay, and Bc33ie, owned by Mr. J. F.
Flournoy. The race was close and exciting, and
was witnessed by a large number of spectators.
Dr. Bruce’s gray pacer won the first and third
heats, and Bessie won the other three and tho
race, Mr. Joe Thayer drove Bessie. Mr. Gus
Boles drove Dr. Bruce’s gray pacer, and Oswichee
Bay was driven by Mr. Jim Alexander.
The ground now occupied by the buildings and
Btables of Starp irk has been donated by the city
to the Georgia Midland railroad, aud as soon as
the road is ready to claim it the city will be with
out a race course. Such a progressive city as CCo
lumbus should, by all means, have a suitable en
closure for the recreation of its citizens. It would
be a splendid investment for the city to donate to
a company of responsible men twenty or thirty
acres, say south of the colore 1 cemetery, for this
purpose. That place would make a race track
and ball ground second to no.ie in the south. It
is as level as a floor, and the buildings, etc., now
at Star Park, could be removed there without
much expense.
Besides the advantage of having a fine race
course, Columnus will nave a fiir sometime a id
our city fathers should have an eye to the future.
A good many gentlemen in the city have blooded
horses and they are anxmus for a suitable place
to winter and exercise them.
Atlanta has hitherto had no such place and she
now fuels the need of it. We understand that
that city is making a magnificent park for such a
i pnrpose. Macon has always bad a fine course
I and she is noted ror her splendid horses. And
that is probably the reason why that city can
make such a close bid for the state fair. There is
no reason why the state fair should not be held
here, as there are thousands of Georgians
anxious for a good opportunity to visit the queen
city of the G’eattahoochee. If we can not get the
state fair we can combine with Alabama and
have aod west Gee rgiaa East Alabama exhibition.
As we stated above there are many gentlemen

curisy Cured.
Garfield, Pawnee Co., Kansas, Jan
uary 30, 1S3J.—I have been for some years
troubled wita uleuretic pains in my left
side, which eaine on in the beginning of
winter, and sire so severe that 1 am con
fined to ihe house. During the past win
ter I used two Allcock’s Porous Plas
ters on my left side, and after the first
week all pain left me and I was perfectly
able to attend to my business. After
wearing them two weeks I would wash
them olf with a little alcohol and then go
two or three weeks perfectly well. I have
only had to put them on three times
during the past winter, and must say All-
cock’s Porocjs Plasters are all that tiiey
are represented to be. L. E. Callen.

Green & Co., in their revort on cotton futures,
says : A larger portion of the (lay was given over
to holiday jollifications and regular course of
business greatly interrupted. So far as shown,
however, ti moder tc fluctuation has been mod
erate and the final sales were much the same as
last year, with a degree of steadiness prevailing.
Buyers, however, exhibited no great amount of
anxiety and it is doubtful if fuller offerings could
have been absorbed.

IVsfimmiy from the Seashore,
I have been suffering with rheumatism
for about twenty-five years. I am now
forty-two years old. My pains wore so
great that 1 have been confine J to my bed
from eight to ten months at a time, and
two years ago I was in bed about nineteen
months perfectly helpless, being afilicted
all over. At that time, having tried every
known remedy before, I commenced the
use of Swift’s Specific. 1 used about two
dozen bottles. I have never had anything
to act so promptly and efficiently in mv
life. My health and vigor were restored;
I can walk and ride as well as when a boy.
My business is such as to keep me on my
feet about fourteen hours during the day,
but I go through without any incon
venience. I can cheerful!v recommend
S. H. S. to those who suffer wit h rheuma
tism. Geo. T. McDonald.
